links of the week

I am here...
I have been a little slow to posting this week.
Internet was down for a bit, so I kind of took advantage of that time to do nothing but be mom.
Now finding it hard to get back into the swing of things.
In a Funk.
That's all.
But it's Friday, the end to this week of funk and on to a new brighter one.

Found a lot of fun reads this week! One of which actually had me in tears because it spoke to exactly what I was feeling and was so on point.
So here they are in no particular order!
  • Cat & Cow Shari from Meow & Moo is one of my lovely Instagram Ladies that I follow, I guess you could call her an Insta-Friend. She finally too a big leap into the blogging world and start up her own blog. So excited for her!!
  • How to Curl Your Hair with a Flat Iron Kimmie from Sugar & Dots whipped up this tutorial on how to curl your hair with a flat iron. Brought me back to my salon days... Super fun to do, and you don't have to have long hair either!
  • Letter to Self Sylvia from Sweet Pea Sylvie No words...Just read...
  • 5 Tips for Finding Vintage Decor Items Ashley from The Shine Project gives some great tips for finding those amazing vintage pieces to decorate your home with. From estate sales to those cute little antique shops, unique pieces and don't be scared to update or refinish pieces.
  • My Child is an Old Lady Bre from Peacoats & Plaid had her daughter do a super cute guest post...HAHA well not really but it's a super cute post. I think I might do this with my kiddies too Bre!

links of the week

Today I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite links from this week. It was hard to narrow it down to just a few, the list could go on forever with all the amazing blogs that are out there. But I have my "Top 5" for you guys to enjoy as well!
  • How to make a Blog Button {with a grab box} Ashley from Chevron Stitches shares how to whip a blog button. This is the perfect tutorial for us bloggie nerds! It's nice to always refresh your buttons every couple months or so; or have more than one option like Ashley suggests is great too.
  • 4 Awesome Resources to Overcome Writer's Block Bre from Peacoats & Plaid shares some great links for those of us bloggers who sometimes hit a wall when it comes to writing. I was so glad that she posted this, sometimes I feel like I am pulling from everywhere to get a great post. So I sat down and start to make a list from these resources to always have on hand when I am in need of some great ideas.
  • real life is... Casey from The Wiegands/CaseyLeigh gives you some insight on what real life looks like at their house. She is one of my favorite bloggers. She is so raw and open, you automatically feel connected to her posts whether she is just sharing pictures or writing from her heart.
  • Road Trip: House Hunting Mission Heather from JustLove.ly  takes you on a little trip through parts of Oregon, while her and her hubby go on the hunt for a house. Love her pictures she shared, and so excited for her!
  • I Got the Blues Carrisa from Lillies & Silk is such a stylish Mama!! Best arm candy on the block! She shares this super cute Navy & Yellow outfit this week. I always look forward to her outfit posts! She has such a classic style, but still has fun with it! 
  • Making Clothes Work for You - Part 1 Tank Dress Andrea from For the Love of... shows postpartum Mom's, whether it they be a few weeks postpartum or a few...years (like myself), how to dress their new-post baby body.  We all know clothes are the enemy after baby, but she shows how you can embrace/love your new body, while hiding your trouble areas you might have. Looking forward to Part 2!
There you have it! 
Some good reads to carry you through the weekend or maybe even just the little one's nap time!
Did you find some great reads this week?? If so leave me the link so I can go check it out!
